Trego County Normal Institute.


The annual Institute for 1887 will con-
vene at Wa-Keeney, August 9Th, at 1:30
P. NJ, and is expected to be one of the
best we have ever had. Both the gentle
men who will be in charge are ener-
getic and thoroughly drilled in education
al work, and there is every reason to
anticipate large attendance and pleas
ant and profitable session.
This is not a school in the ordinary
sense of the term; and, while the work
done will, to considerable extent, be
preparatory to the examination, the main
object will be to give special training in
the art Of teaching. No one who expects
to teach during the coming year can af-
ford to lose the benefit of this training.
Bring all your text books, and don't
forget the pencil and note book.
Copies of the course of study can be
procured of the superintendent at ten
cents each.
School officers are cordially invited to
visit the Institute, and become acquainted

An Eloquent Protest.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Dear Sir-Wednesday afternoon Dec. 21st Louis Henderson together with 8 lot of school children were engaged in a snow ball frolic on Webster St. he 0ouis) threw a ball and struck colored girl effecting little or no damage, a complaint was readily entered by man named Phillips. The Evening Register of Thursday Dec. 22nd stated sar- casticallv that the boy was as black as the snow was white, the person who inserted the item, unquestionably in the most ex- treme manner misrepresented the boy as he is entirely aside from the hue presented, not that ana preiudiced of color or intensified by hostility of caste, but as law abiding citizen and having been a resident of this city from my earliest boy-hood I want fair and impartial representation as we'll as fair and impartial count.
 I think and feel as all ambitious and principled men have thought and felt, so true in innumerable cases is the observation that men make up their principle by inherit ance, and magnanimously defend them as they would their own freside, because they were born with them, so it is with the wri- ter, ask for in personal stand point of view is fair square and unadulterated rep resention at the hand of your erudition and CLASSIC JOurnal, IL IS aQ 1Qea- entertained by persons who we presume are not exactly up to the times to grace our city court with these little frivolous and could be settled matters by single word from each parent or guardian.
 I could have brought before our city judi ciary at two different times similar cases that have been made by other children upon mine, but I suffered not even the most inno- cent qualification to render me insensible to the pure and permanent outlet of considera- tion, reason and common sense which effect ed at once perfect satisfaction, through ig- norance or prejudicial passion, or for the want of consultation from good, reason able and intelligent neighbor, we plunge into that which may ultimately produce sor- row and remorse. also with the expended hard. earned money that should be in our homes for the support and comfort of our families. I hope these matters my be philo- sophically viewed and not become 8 detri- ment to the massive and important working of our city judicial department.

A Curious Instance
 Of Dr. Samuel Johnson's we'll known hatred of everything ''across the border" is found in that celebrated definition of oatmeal in h1s dictionary: Oatmeal; meal ground from oats, used as food for men in Scotland and for horses in England;" neglecting to add that to this same food were generally ascribed the rugged health and endurance of the canny Scot. Oatmeal is now, however, universally recognized as most healthful and palatable food, and nowhere more so than in this coun- try where it has grown in esteem until it is found as breakfast dish in almost every family. The difficulty of properly cooking it, that has heretofore been the chief objec. tion to it's use, is now happily overcome in the Quaker Rolled White Oats, manufactured at Rayenna, Ohio, which are quickly and easily cooked. Wholesome alike for the robust and the weak, delicious in flavor, ab- solutely pure and easily digested, this brand has justly taken the first place in popular favor. As one lady remarked: eff you once get Quaker Rolled Oats you will never take any other"
